does anyone do replacements that you know of
-
thanks for the help. Water is not soaking the carpet in anyway, i replaced the heater matrix just yesterday in fact. The problem is i think water is running down the windo and past the outer window seal and building up in the door. When i opened the door yesterday water started poooring out of the bottom - through the holes in the bottom of the door. colinstubbs reckons this is normal and the door can cope with it because of the wax waterproofing. problem being i think there may be too much water getting through the seal and there is signs of the paint starting to bubble. Do you think it is the case of just rewaxing the inner door then cheers Will

fourth time!!!!!! i think its time to bypass the matrix and just have a hat a gloves on in the winter time

couple of questions if anyone can help. when it rains the passenger door fills with water and i almost sure it comes through the horizontal door/window seal. a) does any no who could fix it b) has any one got the same problem and rectified it c) anyone know of any part number i am really that bad when it comes to finding part numbers thanks Will 95 VR6

just though i would say i got the new matrix (£22) from ebay and took 3 hours to put back in. considering it took 6 hours to get out i thought that was pretty good going. Thought i would say i had trouble with selecting face and feet on the heater control mechanism before i had the matrix issues and found that a bit of wd40 while the heater box was out on all the cables and it seems to have free it up nicely. a tip for anyone with a similar issue. PS i think that was the most awkward job i have ever carried out on a car i hope never to do that again. I put an engine in my beetle in less than 3 hours (A WHOLE ENGINE)

hey just spotted a green storm parked outside my house M866DAP in winton bournemouth definately well looked after -
brute force to lever the plastic housing away from the welded bolt and everything is out, only to me 6 hours after 2 trips to halfords to try and find the correct size spanner it is definately the heater matrix

this guy reckons it is brand new, fingers crossed by the way i am struggling getting the third nut off that hold the heater matrix on (the lower one) it is just spinning has anyone got any ideas Will
-
guess what - it was my heater matrix, it has just gone, water in the footwell and the steam from the vents made the inside of my car look like a cheesey 70's disco. bidding for a matrix off ebay and preparing the car for installation as we speak Will

does anyone now what gets wet when it rains heavily. my corrado is very stutterey only after a really heavy rainful in the morning. it clears after i have driven it for 5 min (assume the water evaportates), it is the same as when water gets in to a disributor but tthe vr6 does not have one. any ideas much appreciated will
